To write a Haiku poem!

For sure, Japanese style of writing the feelings you have it's most appreciated as you want to say right and rigorous in syllables ( 5-7-5 ).

Love, nature, feelings are all around in sharpen senses through Haiku style. With a few words an entire world can be described in front of you.

God is love,
made forests of hopes

through his hands.

God educate the wind
speaking about needed love
in search.

I live with nature
loving chromatic views into
diversity.

Soul coldness touch
heart wings, ever and over
to feed the search.

Pain is trembling in front
love on the hills.beauty is made
many hopes.

Flowers touching my heart
in candles of hopes through
serenity.

Previously Haiku style called Hokku and the recent name was given by Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of 19th century. He suggested Haiku as an abbreviation for the meaning of haikai.

In Japanese, Haiku are printed in vertical line, in English or other languages Haiku is written in three verses to equate the consist of 5-7-5. For sure, the differences between different languages can be solved quite easy. The purpose is to create a juxtaposition which creates space and reflecting time for implications as the reader intuits the relationship between verses and the entire meaning.

In Japan and all over the world are publications that regularly publishing Haiku, giving some significant impact in what the Haiku means to be. The website is also a good source to inspire you about the beauty of Japanese style.

Flower is a long dream
coming true through fire,
of hopes in nature.

Balance is a tool,
ever, to mention the soul
touches.

Friends are there to ignore
the bad, often keep us in grow
splendour, light.

Sound of love
overpowering the serenity
of the human soul.

With love you produce
deeds of devotions,
essential roots.

Because Japanese nouns do not have different singular and plural forms, the haiku word is used as both. Those writing Haiku and translators refer to 'many haiku' for plural rather than 'haikus' ( used form ). I am using simply Haiku to preserve the original form as the origin and the evolution are examples of relationship.

History of love
could you ever find again the word,
peace of your heart.

Definitely, came the time of writing. You have in mind those essential things: Haiku, an unrhyming verse form conveying to complete an image, feelings in three lines of syllables.

Let's follow a few steps.
a. Understanding the traditional format. You can use those things mentioned above or you can do your unique search.
b. Choosing a general or personal topic. Generally, the topic is taken from nature, corroborated with the human feelings, etc. The meaning is to convey a deeply felt moment that reflects a deeper human experience.
c. Choosing a season. Usually, the seasons reflect the importance of nature into the human life or deep reflections of other life's conjecture.
d. Adding a contrast. This means to present the idea in the first two lines and than abruptly to switch to another sense, but all three line have something in common.

Hard or not these steps needs some tips. And, why not find it whatever the life or feelings are saying to you. Survey the internet pages; take some books written by traditional Japanese writers. Because Haiku is not a stone is just a beauty that can be your delight over the years, over the time of your life. Wikipedia is getting better about Haiku and there are many corroborating views to make, just time and a lot of strength to write.

It's never to late,
I saw your eyes, my love higher,
desires for Haiku.
Ends.
